Abstract

Abstract Electrochemical water splitting plays a crucial role in the development of clean and renewable energy production and conversion, which is a promising pathway to reduce social dependence on fossil fuels. Thus, highly active, cost‐efficient, and robust catalysts must be developed to reduce the reaction overpotential and increase electrocatalytic efficiency. In this review, recent research efforts toward developing advanced electrocatalysts based on noble metals with outstanding performance for water splitting catalysis, which is mainly dependent on their structure engineering, are summarized. First, a simple description of the water‐splitting mechanism and some promising structure engineering strategies…
